A few short weeks ago Microsoft announced the release of its new Windows version and at first, everything seemed wonderful! Join Neil today as he discusses the pros and cons of the new Windows 11 platform and whether it's a benefit to you or not. Neil discusses how Windows 11 claims it will enhance your productivity, the new features of the platform such as being able to resume what you were doing after an interruption and why your computer may not like the new update. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• When Microsoft announced the advent of its new version of Windows on June 24, 2021, it seemed fairly innocuous. The interface will be beautiful, the Microsoft managers doing the presentation said stridently. Corners would be gently rounded, some menus would be translucent and there would be changes, such as moving the Windows start button to the center bottom of the screen. They also said that it would be more secure. 
• According to the announcement, Windows 11 will enhance user productivity with features such as being able to resume what you were doing following an interruption, even if that interruption means leaving and shutting down your computer. It will allow sessions to pick up on a different computer, or if you have a computer that has a removable tablet screen, Windows will adjust and let you carry on. 
• Your existing computers may not work with it. Financial cost and environmental impact of all those discarded computers.  It must be capable of supporting UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) which has replaced the BIOS on newer computers, and must be capable of supporting Secure Boot. 
• Some computer manufacturers may be able to make their computers compatible through updates. And even if not, Windows 10 will still be supported until 2025, which is plenty of time to decide whether you’re going to upgrade your computer or maybe switch to a Macintosh, go over to Linux or watch for new developments.

BEST MOMENTS 

“It's still a clean, fairly simple interface.” 

“Unfortunately, the bright side of Windows 11 comes at a cost.”

“Chuffed to have your computer made obsolete by an upgrade that delivers more and more of what you don’t really want?”
